Re: Jolie's funbags

Removing your breasts because you might get breast cancer? Utter madness. Fair enough she is genetically pre-disposed, but why not look into preventative holistic therapies or dietary / lifestyle changes and get regular check-ups? If there's any sign, then get a mastectomy.

Expect a bunch of copy-cats saying they were inspired by Angelina.

Because preventative holistic therapies or dietary / lifestyle changes are the kind of whacked out bullshit Starcreeper etc believe in.

appreciate her health concerns but her actions do come across as very 'look at me' imo

she's prone to bouts of whimsy

Re: Jolie's funbags

-the hundreds of women who are currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer for whom such surgery may not be an option (and their families)

-The women who have family history of breast/ovarian cancer, potentially have BRCA1/2 genes and didn't know the seriousness or were too scared to take similar action

-People that have had similarly disfiguring ops and are too self-conscious to look in the mirror/leave the house in the morning

does it really need the media coverage it's getting?

That's what raising awareness is, she's one of the most beautiful women in the world and a massive film star... of course there is going to be interest in it. You've got to be pretty fucking cynical to suggest she's cranking it herself for 'celeb' column inches, the fact she's dealt with it in the way she has is to be applauded

I would have at least tried the Tommy Chong cancer cure before I did anything drastic...

Yeah of course, why didn't she think of that! She must be kicking herself now for not thinking of that. To think, all she had to do was eat red berries, increase her alkaline intake and drink the juice of fifty Soursop fruit a day, and she's be right as rain and wouldn't have had to go through the physical and mental trauma of a mastectomy, or be denied of her femininity, all to evade an 87% chance of contracting the single biggest premature killer of women globally.

You fucking idiot

My Mam had a mastectomy 12 years ago, but still has to get regular check-ups to see if there are any cancer cells. I imagine Jolie will still have to get regular check-ups for the rest of her life, so why preemptively remove your breasts? why not keep them, hope for the best and go for surgery if something shows. It's her choice, but the media calling her brave is pushing it. It's bizarre frankly.

...mine went through the same

You'll know then that there are many different forms, some significantly more aggressive and difficult to treat than others. Your mother and mine were lucky, despite screening it's often not found until too late, some women going from diagnosis to death in a matter of months.

It's a drastic route for sure, but the fact she's taken it for the sake of her family over cosmetic considerations is pretty refreshing for someone with her career/profile and suggests the exact opposite of someone whoring themselves to the media by performing some bizarre, unnecessary mutilation
